Company...company...company. Had a nice visit with Mom today. She came this morning to hang out with my youngest and I. My brother is also visiting but he went to hang out with Dad today, this was due to the normal level of confusion that occurs in our family. My in-laws were also suppose to be dropping by this afternoon, but unfortunately they were not able to make it.
We had a nice relaxing day catching up on work, friends and family. We were blessed with a beautiful fall day, so we spent some time out watching the ducks and chickies. Later my 3 yr old, entertained us by laying in the rectangle of sunshine on the kitchen floor. First it was his bed, then his swimming pool. Kids are so resourceful they really do not need all the fancy gadgets we buy them, give them a cardboard box and some sunlight and they are good. Ironically he wanted waffles for lunch and my 4 yr old woke up asking for a hot dog and cookie crisp. A breakfast surly made for champions. My 6 yr old came home with a note indicating he is reindeer #4 for his Christmas concert and he has a short line to learn. I asked him if he was Vixen, but he assures me he is reindeer #4. Cool.
Not to leave out my 8 yr old, who is taking ITBS this week and is pretty excited about it. I was concerned about # 2 pencils but he just looked at me, with his "Oh Mom" look and said the teacher has them. He was stressed tonight because his birthday is soon and he doesn't know what he wants. This led to tears prior to bed, and led me to be thankful that I have boys. I can only assume that this scenario would have been worse if he was a she. I am probably being naive and if I had been blessed with 4 girls would be taking the opposite side. But for now I choose to believe.
Oh I almost forgot... at supper, grace was led by my 4 year old, who pretty much gave the standard verbage, then my 3 yr old said "me next" and folded his little hands, closed his eyes, bowed his head and said "thanks for the chocolate milk".
